Move forward as Application Engineer at DSV in Venlo

Are you a true tech enthusiast who loves to explore systems inside out? Are you eager to delve into our Warehouse Management System from top to bottom? And are you the one who can uncover all the hidden corners of our system? Your experience in engineering will be put to good use at one of the top players in the logistics market.

You get it done

At DSV, no day is the same! Our clients and internal organisation constantly challenge us to keep growing and improving. Whether it’s about optimising processes, implementing new clients, or preparing for a move, we always take on the challenge! You’ll do this at one or more of DSV’s locations: you will be working on it.

How do you do this? Within a regional team of process and application engineers, knowledge sharing is central. You regularly take on a coordinating role in large-scale projects, always striving for the most efficient execution of our logistics services, tailored to both internal and external client needs.

• proactively suggesting improvements and solutions for our warehouse management system, which uses Redprairie / JDA Dispatcher;
• participating in projects, such as setting up new clients or migrating existing clients;
• identifying deviations and trends in reports. For recurring reports, you naturally search for the root cause of the problem. Then, you work with your team on a sustainable solution within the system.

Your team at DSV is known for its short communication lines and flat organisation. As an application engineer, you enjoy a lot of freedom and responsibility and work with the latest technologies, such as our automated warehouse in Venlo. In short, you contribute to the future of our logistics services.

In the Netherlands, we operate from over 25 branches, with more than 3,000 colleagues. Together we rise to the challenge of a rapidly changing environment. We make quick decisions at every level and combine ambition and teamwork. This is how we move forward and make a difference together.

• strong communication skills, both in Dutch and English.
